It pulled me in from early on but some of the shit these kids--15 years old!--were doing was very off-putting. They acted a lot older and whether they were entitled little shits or not, I didn't agree with a lot of it or understand how they managed to pull it off; for example Zayd's tattoed body. 15, and pretty much covered in tats? Is that even legal?
As for the Idols, I was genuinely thinking they were starting to like her. And then Miranda and Andrew's question at the beginning of that chapter towards the end had me wondering what could go wrong for that scene in the Prologue to pan out and then I was just fuming for Marnye.
I now want to read book 2 just so I can see Marnye stick it to the entitled little "Bluebloods of Burberry Prep". I want to watch them burn!

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Crossing (Open Door Love Story, #1) in Books
Sep 6, 2019
I absolutely adore this book. It is one of a kind and deals with many issues.
When I first saw this book I was intrigued by the title and description. Crossing? Crossing what?
I figured out Liam's secret pretty early on, it just dawned on me when I put everything together and was intrigued with where the story was going to go.
I like how it deals with body images and how people judge others on looks alone a lot of the time. It also deals with what others see as acceptable behaviour in society.
Honestly, I found myself falling for Liam around the 45% mark--he was so sweet and attentive--and when he went after the slightly chubby Dani instead of the stick thin bitchy girls I fell a little more.
I feel I have to mention Ursula too, she was awesome!

Although this is an animated show, that aired on Disney XD, it's entertaining for adults as well. Normally, they don't really show people dying on kids shows, but the Stormtrooper body count is pretty high.
This show introduced some of my new favorite characters, and brought in Clone Wars characters, which I loved. The story lines were interesting, and the show did a good job of featuring some of the Skywalker Saga characters, but didn't repeat things we'd already seen. The show ends about 1 year before the Battle of Yavin (BBY). I would actually watch a live action show featuring some of the members of the Phoenix Squad. Mostly Hera, she was probably my favorite.
This also gave us the gift of introducing Grand Admiral Thrawn into the new canon, and they did so well with the characterization. I'm not going to lie, I would love an appearance by Thrawn in Episode IX.
